Rather illegible font though ... :-/ 10x20.pcf is pretty optimal: It's sans serif, yet not too simple letterforms; all stems are quite thick; no rounding errors in a rasterising process that lead to sub-optimal shapes. It's simply very well readable. But 126 columns are too much. :-( Tschoe, Torsten. -- Torsten Bronger, aquisgrana, europa vetus
